100% Permanent and Total Disability: What is it?

Рет қаралды 126,402

Күн бұрын

100% Permanent and Total disability, or P&T, refers to veterans whose disabilities are total (rated 100 percent disabling by VA) and permanent (have zero or close to zero chance of improvement). Veterans who are 100% disabled are entitled to certain benefits from the VA, including full medical coverage and a monthly compensation payment. In addition, 100% disabled veterans may also be eligible for additional benefits such as special housing grants and education benefits.

So I’m medically retired with 8 combat tours between 4 countries and 17 years in the Marines. I had my letter from NMC Balboa stating that my TDRL was to be PDRL…. Basically medically retired straight out of active duty I wanted to do 30, but after being blown up and losing my hearing…..getting a cochlear implant, hearing aid, lots of scars on my right side and all… So……how does this work???

I just received P&T due to them adding a 40% rating for something I never filed for but which has been an issue due to spinal injections. I'm happy, It has changed my families outlook. I did it all on my own, started at 50, than 70, than 80, than 90 and P&T no exam ever required. I'm blessed for sure.

100% P&T with SMC, since 2009. I battled the VBA for 3 years. Finally won, after a denial, low-balled award, and a appeal hearing at my VA Regional Office. With my backpay, I bought a beachfront home in Central America.

Happy veterans day to ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!! HOOAAH. I retired in 2007 by my request to retire do to all service connected problems after 24 years of service in the US Army because I was trained by old school NCO,S and believe we Senior Non-Commissioned Officers ALWAYS lead from the front but do to injuries it was becoming harder and also didnt want to be 200% disabled before my wife and I had raised our children and due to my belief in what we as US Military do to try and keep our loved ones safe and free tried always to give 150% along with rest of all of my military family and several countries and years in the job added up on the body. However the point is I kept any and all military docs and it still took me from 2007 to 2011 to get 100% perm. And total so keep at and dont get discouraged!!! If you were good to go going in like I was and getting more and more broke physically due to your dedicated service to your country dont give up you earned it!! Special note to WW1, WW2, KOREA, VIETNAM VETS THANK YOU FOR YOUR SELFLESS SERVICE AND LEADING THE WAY FOR THE REST OF US WALKING THE WALL !!! SALUTE AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS!! HOOAAH

Hey Combat Craig…. Have you seen “NEW 100% P&T ID cards”?? Woow… it’s a beauty. It looks just like a CAC card, not those old green retired one. DEERS OR VA did great on that one. Got mine yesterday at the nearest military DEERS ID card office. You need 2 things to get the card: 1) DD214 2) VA letter showing you’re 100% P&T On the card it’s says “Indef”… basically will never expire. Folks need to get to get hundo club fast. The card let you get on base, shop, do whatever even if didn’t do 20 years in service. 🎉

The “VA BULLSHIT” is all rule based, and the rules are public and easily available to read and learn. If you don’t get what you want, it’s because you haven’t provided what the rules say you have to.

I receive SMC as well which total is about $4000 a month single. Also SSDI another $2600. Next year's Cola increase will be interesting, a little over $7k a month after an est. 8% cola increase.

How did you get P&T? I’m at 100% but they didn’t give me P&T

@michaelnavarro6815 2 жыл бұрын

After receiving your 100% PT.. & the VA gives routine appointments should we be careful about what we say to the docs so they can’t annotate incorrect information & getting it your percentage reduced ?

@RyaMarshall 2 жыл бұрын

So, is the P&T something they automatically do? You do not have to apply for it? Are there things we should know regarding how one earns the P&T?

@CombatCraig 2 жыл бұрын

I would say most of the time they give it to you but it all comes down to if your disabilites are static or not

Hi Combat Craig, I wasn't sure if I should reopen an old VA claim. It was from 2017. At that time I wasn't sure what I was doing and listed a variety of things. The two that stand out right now is Memory Loss and Respiratory. I was denied and did nothing to appeal back then. Recently as of last year August. I submitted for Anxiety, that was denied. Then submitted for PTSD and then through testing was evaluated for PTSD and Sleep Apnea and got my rating (Effective Date December of 2020). Is it worth to try and reopen that 2017 claim? And is it worth to try to change my Effective date from December 2020 to August 2020. Thank you for your time.

I’d file a new claim whenever you have medical evidence to support an increase 👍

So I still have issues with GERD and man does it suck! I guess they didn't take me seriously during my QTC appointment. They haven't finalized it, but it shows at 10% on ebenefits. I'm assuming it shows at 10% for now till it's finalized? I'm trying to get at least 30%, which would bump me up to 70% rating.

@CombatCraig 2 жыл бұрын

I’d wait till you get your decision letter and then I would read it and make sure you understand it because it’ll tell you what medical evidence you were missing🤠

I tried to get P&T label, but my plantar fasciitis is holding it up. They said it might get better, after I've had it for almost 20 years now...crazy. I applied last year, so I'm wondering how long should I wait to make another attempt? They got me insoles for my feet.

Off-topic question, if you were diagnosed with sleep apnea no service-connected six years ago, can you submit a claim for service-connected, or does the diagnose have to be recent? By recent I mean a year or less?

@CombatCraig 2 жыл бұрын

You will want a current diagnosis. Also the nexus is huge. Make sure you have that dialed in. 🤠

@@CombatCraig I did at home sleep study test over a month ago. Nobody told me the results, so I emailed the sleep clinic at the VA, and they said my results were inconclusive. The doctor wanted to follow up, I went yesterday to see the specialist at the VA, and I felt the doctor was somewhat dismissive. He told me that the results did not show sleep apnea, so I said those at-home sleep studies failed to diagnose sleep apnea between 50 to 70 percent, and he did not like that. Also, I mentioned that I was diagnosed a few years back, and he said most likely my sleep apnea got better, or I don't have it anymore. I wonder how he got to that conclusion. He ordered an in-lab sleep study, and I have to wait until January, the first available time. Any advice for in lab sleep study done at the VA hospital?

@CombatCraig 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Richard, If you are 100% and not P&T there are a few benefits that are different. That is the main difference. 100% also applies to TDIU since TDIU pays you at the 100% rate if that makes sense. Here are a few other videos I made about Individual Unemployability. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z6uAgM5j0bmUYIk.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZefqMV8vpzOfoE.html

Ok first of all.. 4:30 i see "side effect from mefloquine". I didnt know that was a thing! And neither did any of the docs I've talked to I guess. I've tried bringing up mefloquine so many times but no one has any knowledge on that blackbox drug we were given... Secondly, how do we get our code sheet? Is that accessible online? Thanks, Craig!

Let me guess your doctors probably work for the VA right? If so go find a real doctor or that isn’t incentivezed to not pay you. Your code sheet is in your VA claims file👍

Hey brother, I'm 100 % P&T, have a fiduciary. I cannot seem to get out of the program. I honestly can't believe it's been 2 years. I have a TBI, but never saw this coming, i served 05-13 and in 2013 was awarded 100%. In 2018, it was dropped due to missing an exam. Reinstated in 2019, fiduciary appointed may 2020. I currently have many restrictions in place. My money is broken up every month into 3 sections. Housing allowance, clothing, personal. How its broken down is crazy. I only get 1,000 for spending and cannot utilize any funds in my savings. I wanted to buy a vehicle and get an apartment but my "fiduciary " won't let me...im so confused. They said get a letter stating my competency but as you know thd VA is terrible. I called and asked for a competency review only to be told they cannot write me a letter. So essentially im stuck with someone else telling myself that I don't need my own place and that i don't need anything besides what they deem necessary. Shouldn't it be illegal to take away a disabled veteran's right to utilize their funds as they need them or see fit for their family ? I'm so confused. I was told initially that it was temporary. I had my last fiduciary keep me in a hotel spending approximately 40 grand of my money, i had found several places to go that were within my price range but was never able to leave. Anyway I could go on. I am very angry that I have no say on what my benefits are spent on. It seems so unnecessary. If any fellow combat Veterans know or have any advice i would really appreciate it. Thank you and God bless.
